Landscape Drip Application Guide

Landscape Drip Application GuideA Practical Guide for Designing and Installing Drip Irrigation Systems

The Intelligent Use of Water™

www.rainbird.com

The Rain Bird’s low volume irrigation products were coined with the phrase “Xerigation” in the 1990’s and include drip irrigation and low volume spray products. The Rain Bird Xerigation system is the most efficient way to water landscapes.

Over the last fifteen years, Rain Bird has been a leader in innovation advances that customers value. Earlier advances included the Xeri-PopTM, the first efficient low volume spray with a spray head that retracts out of sight, the self-cleaning back flush filter that reduces maintenance by automatically flushing out debris, and the PR Series Pressure Regulating Filter that combined the regulator and filter into one component reducing the potential for leaks.

Today, Rain Bird continues the tradition of innovation with the SQ Series Nozzle and the XF Series Dripline featured below. With the broadest product line, Rain Bird’s Xerigation systems can be designed to meet any site requirement providing unmatched quality, efficient water use, and ease of installation.

It is Rain Bird’s long-standing

commitment to engineering and

quality excellence that sets our

drip irrigation products apart.

Design flexibility

Elimination of overspray and runoff

High water efficiency

Water is delivered at or near the plant root zone

Plants stay healthier and live longer

Benefits of Xerigation®The Efficiency of Drip, Engineered by Rain Bird®

Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) Building - Chino, CA

Solution: Rain Bird developed a comprehensive irrigation system for the IEUA site, including Xerigation products.

Results: 73% less water used than a comparable facility. First public agency building to achieve a LEED Platinum Rating.

Demonstrated Water Savings

Product Guide

Featured Rain Bird® Drip Products

For irrigating small areas with dense plantings, the SQ Series Nozzle is the most precise and efficient nozzle available. With built-in pressure compensation and a unique square spraying pattern, the need for overlapping is greatly reduced. This means less overspray, overwatering, and runoff than traditional nozzles. It also means you need less nozzles, dramatically reducing your costs and installation time.

The XF Series Dripline is the most flexible, pressure-compensating inline emitter tubing available. Its unique material offers significantly greater flexibility, allowing tighter turns with fewer elbows for easier installation. The dual-layered tubing (brown over black) provides unmatched resistance to chemicals, UV damage and algae growth.

Control your zones with preassembled, compact Rain Bird Control Zone Kits. Two components (valve and pressure regulating filter) are combined to create a shorter kit, when compared with the competition. This allows you to fit more control zone kits in a single valve box without cramping the work space inside the box, saving you time and money.

Anatomy of Xerigation®/ Landscape Drip System Overview

Broadest Product Line in the Industry

With over 150 products, Rain Bird has the products needed for your application. Systems can be designed to meet any site requirements and offer many exclusive Rain Bird advances including:

• Flexible XF Series dripline with advanced polymers that provide kink- resistance and reduced coil memory for easier installation

• Compact Control Zones with matched pressure regulator and filter to reduce parts, eliminate potential leak problems, and allow for fitting more Control Zones in a valve box

• Precision low volume SQ spray nozzles that offer a square wetting pattern and adjust to either 2.5' or 4' throw distances

• Point-source emitters that provide pressure compensation with a wide selection of flow rates and three inlet options (Barb, 1032 threaded, and ½" FPT)

• XFS dripline with Copper Shield Technology™ for use in sub-surface applications under turf or shrub and groundcover areas. The copper chip effectively protects the emitter from root intrusion

For precise water placement, a barbed connector can be punched into distribution tubing. The emitter is then placed at the end of the ¼” distribution tubing. NOTE: should the emitter become dislodged, unregulated flow will occur.

The Xeri-Bird 8 provides a centralized location for up to eight emitters. A mix of Xeri-Bug and/ or PC emitters can be used to provide the flow rates needed for different plant materials. Tentacles of ¼” distribution tubing, ¼” tubing stakes, and bug caps allow for precise water placement.

Point-source medium-flow modules for watering larger shrubs and trees.

Pressure-Compensating ModulesBarb Inlet x Barb Outlet

Using a Xeriman Tool, insert the PC Module directly into drip tubing or between dripline emitters as needed. Use a PC Diffuser Cap to eliminate squirting.


For precise water placement, a barbed connector can be punched into drip tubing. The PC Module with a PC Diffuser Cap is then placed at the end of the ¼" distribution tubing. NOTE: should the emitter become dislodged, unregulated flow will occur.

Product Guide

Use a PC Diffuser cap to eliminate squirting water when using a PC Module staked at the end of a 1/4” distribution tubing or on a PolyFlex Riser.

Rain Bird’s new heavy-duty pressure compensating bubblers are designed for a rugged environment. Offered in 5 gph, 7 gph, and 10 gph models, the bubbler style outlet and medium-flow options provide more flexibility for landscape layout. Its heavy-duty design is perfect for commercial applications. The 1⁄2” FPT threaded inlet makes these devices ideal for installations using a PVC pipe and schedule 80 risers.

Point-source medium-flow modules for watering larger shrubs and trees.

Pressure Compensating Threaded Bubblers

Use a 10-32 threaded emitter with a PolyFlex Riser for point-source applications in high foot traffic areas. (A pedestrian walking through a flower bed could pull up a staked emitter or otherwise cause misalignment of the ¼" distribution tubing. If they stepped on a PolyFlex Riser, the emitter would stay in place.)

Xeri-Spray™ 360° True SprayBarb or 10-32 Thread

The Xeri-Spray 360° True Spray Spike combines a spray head with a ¼” tubing stake for precise water placement. Simply connect the Xeri-Spray 360° True Spray Spike to drip tubing via a barb connector. NOTE: The Xeri-Spray 360° True Spray Spike comes with its own barb connector.


Connect up to six Xeri-Spray 360° True Spray Spikes via ¼” distribution tubing to a multi-outlet manifold (EMT-6Xeri).

Connect up to six Xeri-Bubblers via ¼” distribution tubing to a multi-outlet manifold (EMT-6Xeri). Use a ¼” tubing stake for precise watering. NOTE: should the bubbler become dislodged, unregulated flow will occur.


A barbed connector can be punched into drip tubing. The Xeri-Bubbler is then placed at the end of the ¼" distribution tubing. NOTE: should the bubbler become dislodged, unregulated flow will occur.

Use a 10-32 threaded bubbler with a PolyFlex Riser for point-source applications in high foot traffic areas. (A pedestrian walking through a flower bed could pull up a staked bubbler or otherwise cause misalignment of the ¼" distribution tubing. If they stepped on a PolyFlex Riser, the bubbler would stay in place.)

Xeri-Pops & SQ Series Nozzles on a Poly Tubing Lateral

Dense Applications


For seasonal replanting, lift Xeri-Pops out of ground and lay aside.

Do not disconnect the 1/4” tubing.

After replanting, reinstall the Xeri-Pops in the planting area.

Operate Xeri-Pops at 40 psi for optimal performance.

TO-DO LIST: Trench beds (2-6 inches deep), cut and lay out Xeri Black Stripe Poly Tubing.

Punch 1/4” Self Piercing Barb Connector into Xeri Black Stripe Poly Tubing laterals. Attach 1/4” tubing to outlet barb and run 1/4” tubing to edge of bed.

Connect 1/4” tubing to inlet barb on Xeri-Pop. Dig small hole (4” wide x pop up depth) for Xeri-Pop.

Determine desired watering pattern and pick appropriate SQ Series Nozzle.

Grasp orange pull ring on top of Xeri-Pop and pull stem up exposing thread area for nozzle. Drop 30-mesh screen into stem and thread nozzle onto stem.

Drop Xeri-Pop into hole so the cap is at grade. Fill in dirt around Xeri-Pop so the body is supported in the soil and exit port for nozzle is in the correct position.

Flush lines until clean water flows and install planting material.
